Hope you all had an amazing Memorial Day weekend! It’s been a whirlwind of a week: lots of snuggles with my nephew, time with family, a beautiful wedding and reunion with old friends, and lots of travel.

As much as I love going away, I always enjoy coming back home and getting back into the kitchen. I’m a stickler for routine, what can I say?

There is no better way to get back into the groove of things than with a great hearty breakfast, and this naturally gluten free Dutch baby with blueberry maple syrup is just that. It is one of my favorite kitchen experiments as of late. It took many baking trials to get just right, and I’m so thrilled to share it with you today!

How to Make A Gluten Free Dutch Baby:

Dutch baby pancakeshappen tobe one of my favorite breakfast dishes. If you’ve ever made a traditional Dutch baby, you know that the texture is the best part! It is essentially a large souffle-like pancake made in the oven. It has a crisp exterior and a custard, pancake-like interior.

It also happens to be one of the easiest breakfasts to throw together. The batter is made in a blender, poured into a pre-heated skillet, and bakedin the oven. No mixing bowls and minimal clean up.Despite how much I lovethem, I don’t make themallthat often simply because they’ve neverofferedmuch sticking power. I could eat a Dutch baby and get hungry 30minutes later. No joke.

What Brands of Oats Are Gluten Free?

Butthis gluten free versionis different. It just happens to be made with Bob’s Red Mill gluten old-fashioned free rolled oats.

There is not a speck of wheat or all-purpose flour in this batter, making this Dutch baby not only gluten free, but also 100% whole grain! This makes it not only healthier and more nutritious, but heartier and more filling.

Many of you are probably familiar with old-fashioned rolled oats. I use rolled oats in everything from traditional oatmeal to cookies and everything in between. Oats are naturally gluten-free. So, you might be wondering why you see both gluten-free rolled oats and regular rolled oats at the supermarket. Aren’t they the same thing? Not exactly.

Many people that follow gluten free diets can’t tolerate regular rolled oats. Why?

Well, the majority ofoats are grown in close proximity or within fields that are alsoused for othergrains, such as wheat, barley, and rye [all of which do contain gluten]. Throughout the farming process, there is also cross contamination with transportation and grain seperation. This article describes the process in even greater detail. Fascinating, right?

Bob’s Red Mill uses the highest standards of production to ensure that their gluten free old fashioned rolled oats areindeed gluten free. They work directly with all of their grain suppliers, use specialized equipment, and test everybatch of oats that go into each bag.

Even though I don’t personally follow a gluten-free diet, I prefer to buy gluten free oats, because it allows me the flexibility of serving friends and family with dietary restrictions.

Case in point: today’s gluten free Dutch baby. If I didn’t tell you, you wouldnever know or guess that this pancake is 100% whole grain. It is light and airy, and indistinguishable from a traditional Dutch baby in texture.

Yield: 4 Servings

Prep: 10 minutes minutes

Cook: 20 minutes minutes

Total: 30 minutes minutes

This easy Gluten Free Dutch Baby Recipe is made with gluten free rolled oats, making it naturally gluten free and whole grain. You'd never know by the taste! The batter can be thrown together in a blender. Top with maple syrup or a simple blueberry maple syrup (recipe included below).

Ingredients

Homemade Blueberry Maple Syrup:

  • 1 pint (12 oz) fresh blueberries
  • ¼ cup pure dark maple syrup

Gluten Free Dutch Baby:

  • 3 large eggs + 1 large egg white
  • ¾ cup Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Rolled Oats
  • cup whole milk
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter cut into cubes
  • powdered sugar (optional) for dusting

Instructions

  • Prepare the Blueberry Maple Syrup:Combine the blueberries and maple syrup in a small saucepan. Bring over medium heat and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries just begin to burst and the syrup has thickened, about 7 to 10 minutes. Keep warm as you prepare the Dutch baby.

  • Prepare the Dutch Baby: As the syrup is thickening, place a 10-inch cast iron skillet on the center rack of the oven, and preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C)

  • In a high-powered blender, combine the eggs and egg white. Blend over high speed until light and frothy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the oats, milk, baking powder, vanilla extract, cardamom, and salt. Blend over high speed for 1 to 2 minutes, or until very smooth and well combined. The batter will be thin.

  • Using oven mitts, carefully remove the hot cast iron skillet from the oven. Place the cubed butter in the pan, it will immediately bubble and begin to melt. Place the skillet with the butter back into the oven until the butter just begins to toast (it will smell nutty and fragrant) for 45 seconds to 1 minute, watching carefully the whole time.

  • Remove the skillet from the oven, swirl to coat the pan evenly. Pour the Dutch baby batter into the center of the skillet and immediately place back into the oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the Dutch baby has risen substantially and is golden brown. Dust lightly with confectioner’s sugar.Serve immediatelyin large wedges withwarm blueberry syrup.
